Chapter 103 War of words
In the next few days, everyone followed Mu Feng's plan.
With Han Wangan's instigation, Ye Mu could not find a good solution and could only let Mu Feng's plan go forward.
Officials in the court also got involved, and the ladies in particular became even more crazy after learning about the miraculous effects of the perfume.
Finally, under the operation of Wei Zhuang and Zi Nu, Zi Lan Xuan successfully transformed.
The sounds of stringed instruments fade away, replaced by the monthly bustle and bustle.
Mu Feng had already determined the direction and naturally knew the result, and the rest was left to professionals.
Mu Feng still taught the girls sword skills during the day and collected interest as usual.
Practice swordplay at night and collect payment.
Listening to Nongyu playing the piano, Yan Lingji dancing, drinking fine wine, and eating delicious food, this is how a human life should be lived.
Occasionally, he would accompany the tsundere Princess Honglian, check his swordsmanship, and do romantic things under the romantic cherry tree.
At night, he put a hat on Han Wangan and enjoyed the charm of Lady Mingzhu.
Occasionally, Mrs. Hu and Lady Hu are put together for a double kill.
Life is also free and easy.
......
Although it seems like it took so long, it was actually only five days.
As for why it was five days, it was because it only took the Qin envoy five days to reach the Kingdom of Han.
The time spent by the Qin envoy was at least half that of the previous one, which shows that the Qin State must have other conspiracies.
Therefore, Han Fei had to put aside what he was doing. Since the Qin envoy had brought news that concerned the life and death of Han, Han Fei, as the Sikou, had to step forward.
Of course, what’s more, the Qin envoy who came this time was Han Fei’s junior fellow student, and also a disciple of the Confucian Master Xunzi.
Now, Master Xun's two disciples stood on opposite sides.
Li Si came with bad intentions, but he still met Han Fei first, just to reminisce about the past, which was also an arrangement made by the Qin State.
Mu Feng still let this matter take its course. The court was Han Fei's battlefield. Moreover, Han Fei could be so relaxed, he must have thought of a solution.
Now, just need to watch his performance quietly. Li Si is no match for Han Fei now.
Only after Li Si won Ying Zheng's trust and gradually took control of the court was he able to threaten Han Fei.
On the second day after Li Si entered Han, the entire court of Han was ready to face a formidable enemy, waiting for Li Si's arrival.
The threat from Qin State was growing day by day, and its national strength was becoming stronger. Li Si was becoming more and more confident. This time when he came to Han State, he would definitely make a big fuss about the death of the Qin envoy.
As soon as Li Si came to power, he showed his power to King An of Han and all the civil and military officials in the court. He quoted from classics and brought up the place where the Qin envoy died, but it was now very prosperous. He implied that Han did not take Qin's death to heart.
Ji Wuye even said that Baiyue witchcraft was weird, but he would definitely find a way to catch Tianze, so Li Si could wait with peace of mind.
However, Li Si represented the State of Qin, which was originally trying to put pressure on the State of Han. He directly mocked the State of Han for saving the prince and Princess Honglian from Tianze, but the emperor still died mysteriously.
He believed that Ji Wuye and others were no match for Tianze.
This made Ji Wuye, Bai Yifei and Han Yu, who knew the truth, helpless. There was no way to explain this matter and they could only accept it.
Of course, the speechlessness of Han Wangan, Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei made Li Si even more powerful.
What's more, if Qin State has no way to capture Tianze, it will send the Qin cavalry to help Han State, capture Tianze and avenge the Qin envoy. This is undoubtedly a declaration of war against Han State and a naked insult.
This made King An of Han very angry. Li Si was simply here to cause trouble and did not give Han any face at all.
Bai Yifei came forward and pointed out that the State of Chu was powerful and eyeing Han covetously. If Qin and Han went to war and their national strength declined, the one who would benefit would be Chu. Only then did Li Si stop threatening Han Wang An.
Then, Li Si changed his approach and forced King An of Han to personally transfer the body of the Qin envoy back to Qin, so that Qin could withdraw the troops assembled on the border.
Zhang Kaidi and Han Yu tried their best to stop it. The princes had to see the king off and they would not leave the country. This method had never appeared before. Han and Qin were both rulers of the same country. How could King Han condescend to escort them? It would simply damage the reputation of the State of Han and make people all over the world laugh at them.
King An of Han naturally would not agree. The Qin State's intentions were obvious. If King An of Han was allowed to go to Qin State, he would never return and would be imprisoned in Qin State forever.
As long as King An of Han cannot return to Qin, the State of Han will surely be in chaos. The princes will fight for the throne and attack each other. The national strength of Han will become weaker, and the court will be left unattended.
When the time comes, Qin will send troops and easily destroy Han, which shows how vicious Qin is.
Li Si even believed that the three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Zhao that divided Jin were not the masters of one country in terms of righteousness and status, and that the Qin Kingdom, which was granted the hereditary title by the Zhou emperor, was the orthodox one.
Suddenly, Korean civil and military officials were shocked.
Han Fei immediately stepped forward and cited classics, arguing that the decline of Jin and the establishment of the three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Zhao were not human will but the will of heaven.
The Qin State believed that it was granted the orthodox title by the Zhou Emperor, but the Great Zhou was destroyed by the Qin State. Lu Xiang, the Marquis Wenxin of Qin, personally ended the royal lineage of the Great Zhou. It is believed that the Qin State treated the orthodoxy of the Great Zhou as a worn-out shoe.
These words left Li Si speechless.
However, Li Si knew that King Han An would definitely not agree to this matter, so he did not pursue it.
Instead, he immediately proposed another way, quoting a classic from the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period. After Duke Huan of Qi helped Duke Zhuang of Yan to win, Duke Zhuang of Yan personally saw Duke Huan of Qi off. The two had a very pleasant conversation and unknowingly entered the border of Qi.
Duke Huan of Qi felt deeply disrespectful, so he ceded the road that Duke Zhuang of Yan had walked on to the State of Yan, and this became a famous story.
Li Si suggested that King An of Han follow the example of the Five Hegemons and promise to cede land to Qin based on the place where the Qin envoy was killed. Such good faith would win the world's reputation and quell the disaster of war.
Han Fei stepped forward again and proposed that if Han failed to solve the case and capture the real culprit within ten days, then it would cede land as Li Si requested and give an explanation to Qin.
Moreover, Han Fei seized the loophole in Li Si's words and proposed that if he solved the case five days earlier, should the land of Qin also be ceded to Han? This left Li Si speechless, and Li Si absolutely dared not agree to this decision.
The two of them engaged in a verbal battle in the court, which was quite similar to the style of Zhuge Liang's debate with the Confucian scholars. As to whether it was polite or not, it remains to be seen. After all, Han Fei and Li Si were both born into Confucian families, so they must have mastered Confucius' rhetoric.
In the end, Han and Qin reached a consensus based on Han Fei's opinion. Han Fei had to solve the case within ten days, otherwise he would cede the land to Qin.
Of course, this is also a helpless move. If Han Fei is not strong, according to Han Wangan's character, the territory of Korea will definitely not be able to be defended. It is better to put forward this suggestion and delay for ten days to find a solution.
It is impossible to solve the case in advance. Qin is powerful, and the Qin cavalry on the border is ready to go. Qin's national strength is several times that of South Korea, and South Korea does not dare to demand Qin's land.
